Framing

Leaf framing of one of my dogs.

i used the glare to frame my daughters head.

Framing my car with my screen door.

Framing another of our dogs with the apartment and support beams.

Leaf and twig framing of some farm equipment.

In a way he has a point, you can try all day to make something look good but someone else can come along and not see the same thing the creator did. You know, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

Three pictures in three lights

I was laying on the floor and saw one of my overhead lights and thought 'lighting pictures of light, YES!'

The first one is the overhead light being the only light on with no flash.

The second one is the bulb off with just the flash as a light source.

The third shot is the light off, no flash and a backdrop of filtered sunlight.

Color Schemes

Monochrome: A log my daughter and wife are going to EVENTUALLY turn into a bird house.

Analogous: This is a cut out section of a rainbow my daughter painted a few weeks ago.

Complementary: Green window frame with red curtain.

I got as close as i could to things around my house that would still give me as clear and a detailed a picture as possible. From wall to wall and everything in-between (including the floor) was up for use. As you may be able to tell by the quality this time around i was finally able to find my actual digital camera instead of having to use my camcorder.

Compare and contrast

These two despite the actual quality of them i feel are the best to compare. While both are in a relaxed position the top shows how a loyal is always keeping an eye out and ready to protect, from what? That's up to them.

One object, many views

All of these pictures are not the quality that i like because i am currently on the hunt for my actual camera, i took these with my camcorder.
